"What the fuck did you send over, Nicky?" Laurie is screaming over the phone at six fucking  o'clock in the morning.

"It has a note. And I believe that the message was clear." the name Nicky answered.

"Well that's exactly, why I am asking!"  she exclaimed angrily, glaring at the innocently looking red leather pill box, that is instantly recognizable as a famous jewelry brand, sitting on her kitchen counter, with a note that says - I heard you cry over a guy, here's a small gift to let you know that I'd marry you anytime.

With the familiar scrawling penmanship in the white piece of paper, she would know who sent her the note, even without calling the guy on the phone.

***
When the guy you confessed to rejected you, and your two exes came back running—declaring they would marry you any time, what would you do?

Would you choose a familiar old love or the one that has your heart but doesn't want you?

And to add to the chaos, her mother is on a mission to marry her nearing thirty-something ass to any man who breathes. 

What should a girl do in such a situation? Run away, of course! 

But then, how far can you run away until all the life's decisions you screwed up in the past caught up with you and you ended up with no choice but to face them. 

Welcome to Laurie’s adventure and just to be clear this is not a love story BUT a quest.

Capture A Husband: My Asian Mother's Quest

The drive back to the club was quiet. Both of them were deep in thoughts.

She wanted to explain but she doesn't have an idea of what to explain, and she also doesn't like the notion that she had to explain things.

When Jiro stopped his bike in the parking lot of the club, Laurie was overcome with disappointment. She wasn't expecting the night to end up this way. When Jiro asked her to leave the club, she was expecting more. A lot more.

She got off of his bike, took off his helmet, and was taking off his leather jacket when Jiro held her elbow and stopped her from removing his jacket.

"You kept it. I'll get it next time."

She stared at Jiro, disbelief was evident in her eyes. She was losing hope when Jiro suddenly acted cold with her, but now, he was letting her keep his leather jacket with the promise that he will get it back in the future.
